Has a player ever got more joy out of 1%?

Plays a bit like Mitch Robinson. Just gets to contests to spoil & keep pressure on.

can't be best 22 anymore

Was awful tonight. For a "presha" player, he can't stick a tackle to save his life.

Worst game he's played for us. Still, probably survives.

Was ordinary tonight, wasn't alone either. Has to stay in though, i mean who do we replace him with? Sadly we're running out of options.

Cahill maybe?

Cahill maybe?

Would have to get a call up you'd think?
With no Smith, Shiel, Snelling, Caldwell, McGrath, Zaharakis. He would be stiff not to get a call up against the Hawkes.

 

[Vander18]

Sheesh…..people are brutal sometimes.

Very ordinary last night but is largely solid and gives all he has every week. When someone better comes along he’ll still be handy given his versatility.

He is miles ahead of Cahill at this point.

Cahill is probably coming in for one of McGrath/Zaka. There's no chance Guelfi goes given how deep our injuries are.

We get somewhat of a reprieve post bye, Smith, Draper, Wright, Cutler should all be fit to play.

So apparently he moved to defence to cover Hind, who moved forward to cover Perkins, who moved to the midfield to cover McGrath, who was obviously subbed out due to injury (per Rutten's post-match conference).

So I'm guessing this wasn't the match up he was expecting or intended for, and he looked correspondingly poor. Not sure it's really a reflection of him though, other than to say it's obviously not ideal.

is a serviceable player but gets found out against good sides..

Snelling too?

Put a line through Guelfi struggles bigtime in big games

He was huge against West Coast though? Probably would've been fine against Richmond had we not had so many injuries.

Tend to agree.

He's played some reasonably good footy this year but it's far from clear to me that he's particularly reliable.

I'd say he'll be replaced in the next few years.

 

[Bjchan13]

Guelf gives his all every game but he's obviously limited. Similar to Zerk, good to have on the list as depth.

huge is a wild overstatement. did he even get it 20 times? no goals? handful of tackles? yeah it was on ok game.

It's not his job to get twenty touches or kick goals. He's there for his effort and one percenters, which were absolutely crucial to us beating West Coast.

 

[ant555]

Do not think he struggles in big games. He struggles when he has to play as a deeper defender. I like him when he plays wing or forward. I think he is okay playing a looser half back flank role but he does not do as well playing tighter defence.
